It's been two weeks now, and the love affair has not abated.
The funny thing is that the difference between the neck of this guitar and my Japanese EVH Wolfgang Special is so small that they might as well be the same neck. The frets are another story though as these are huge jumbos and the EVH is "vintage" stainless steel. It truly is a perfect guitar for me. flat 12 inch radius, and the tones I want. The thing everybody always says when trying to describe the tone of an ASAT Classic with the Telecaster style bridge, and Telecaster looking bridge pickup is that it doesn't sound like a tele. It sounds like a strat. That isn't really true. It sounds more like a strat than a tele, but it really is its own thing. More like a super clean "hi-fi" P-90. The middle position is a dream come true. The Neck with the Seth Lover is just such a perfect fat, warm tone. Those who don't like this kind of tone would call it dark. To me it's so creamy no matter how treble-y the amp or pedal you're using. Really gorgeous low-ish output vintage PAF sounding. i can't speak for the solid body, but with the semi hollow, it could take the place of a 335 neck sound. This guy "Greg's guitars" has probably the best demo of this thing (and extra points for the teddy bear mic stand). It's worth sitting through even if you lived through the 80's and 90's "Sexy Jazz" and would normally run away screaming. He really purposefully and regularly switches between the pickups to show them off. And if anybody knows about him I have a question. Does Greg own all the guitars he plays?

G&L ASAT Classic Bluesboy
I agree with Blue's comments regarding the MFD pickups on the ASAT Classic. My Classic semi hollow has 2 MFDs and I agree that there is a lovely P90 character to them. That's not to say you can't get tele-like tones from them but I enjoy my ASAT for what it is - an extremely well built Tele-style guitar with awesome pickups and a fantastic neck. Last summer I was able to use a Blues Boy variant at a show we did and that was excellent too.

 Seriously. A compressor on the MFD takes you to Nashville.

I have the asat Classic and legacy. I live the G & L. They also have great support if you call them. I called them last week and they told me how to pickups up correctly on my Asat and it sounds great with the mfd. I always lived the bridge but messed with the neck and it was too bassy but now at 3/32 and 2/32 it is great.
How is the bass strings compared to the high strings balance on the humbucker. Mine players like a dream. I think the neck is 9.5 on them according to the specs on the g & l site. My asat is 9.5 and legacy is 12 both are great.
